Leslie Nielsen, who is most known for his comedies such as Airplane and Naked Gun died today at the age of 84. Nielsen is also known for his roles in Forbidden Planet and as Captain Harrison of the SS Poseidon. Here is a quote from The TV show Police Squad."We're sorry to bother you at such a time like this, Mrs. Twice. We would have come earlier, but your husband wasn't dead then." Thanks for making me laugh.
The second death was director Irving Kershner who directed what most considered to be the best Star Wars film of the trilogy The Empire Strikes Back. Which has one of film's most well known lines. He also directed the unofficial Bond film Never Say Never Again.
He will be missed.
I have also just learned of the death of another Hollywood director Blake Edwards. Edwards is most known for directing Breakfast at Tiffany's and the Pink Panther series with Peter Sellers. I have only seen two of his films, Pink Panther and A Shot in the Dark. A Shot in the Dark in my opinion, was the best film in the series. Some of his other films include Operation Petticoat and The Great Race both which star the late great Tony Curtis.
